Strategy and Hints

Watch your back in the upper levels. New enemies will appear behind you.

Move around. Do not be a sitting duck.

As you go higher in the game your reload rate slows down. Remember this!

As you advance through the levels, the enemy becomes more aggressive and a better shot. Instead of a stand and slug it out game, think of it as a shoot and scoot.

Sometimes you can position your tank to shoot past a corner and the enemy cannot shoot  back at you because of his position.

From the pause screen you can (if you have a slow video card) change the resolution to a faster, lower value by choosing the Restart another resolution option from the Game menu.
